Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross

It is one of the best examples of wooden churches in Ukraine of the medieval tent type. The church was built in 1613. It was a three-story log church, originally one-story, and in 1661 it became two-story due to the construction of the chapel of St. John the Baptist on the emporium above the narthex under a stitch tent roof. Later the chapel was turned into a choir by cutting out the wall between the narthex and the nave. In 1715 the building was renovated, and in 1823 it was repaired and weighted. The tempera mural in the interior is of different periods - the oldest, from the beginning of the XVII century, by the brush of the master Hryhoriy (?), has been preserved along the perimeter of the faces of the altar part. The chapel on the emporium was painted in 1672 by Ivan Kobrynovych, and the eastern wall of the nave was painted in 1736. The chapel's iconostasis was painted in 1669 by the popish painter Stefan Medytskyi, and some icons were added by his son Ivan Medytskyi in 1694. The lower tiers of the iconostasis in the church are from the first third of the seventeenth century, while the upper tiers date back to 1780. The large four-tiered wall altar of the mid-seventeenth century has highly artistic decoration of the Lviv carving school of Mannerism. Since 1987, the church has been used by the Department of Wooden Architecture Monuments of the Drohobychyna Museum.
